At Controlux, we supply and install a wide range of premium electric blinds in Leatherhead and surrounding areas of South London, to suit all homeowners and their unique styles.
Homes in Leatherhead are changing. Traditional family houses sit alongside modern extensions filled with glass, open-plan kitchens, and rooflights that pull in daylight from every angle. While this brings warmth and brightness, it also creates new challenges around glare, privacy, and temperature control. That’s where well designed electric blinds start to make a real difference, not just visually but practically.
At Controlux, we’ve spent over 35 years working with shading systems across Surrey and the Home Counties. That level of experience means we look at each home properly, not just the windows, but how the rooms are used, how the sun moves across the property, and how to make the technology feel simple rather than complicated.
Electric blinds aren’t an out-of-reach luxury expense anymore, for many homes in Leatherhead, they’re becoming a life changing upgrade.
Electric blinds (also known as motorised blinds) are window coverings operated via remote control, wall switch, smartphone, or smart home systems.
Compared to manual blinds, they offer a smoother and more refined experience. You can: control several blinds at once, set up a schedule for them to adjust throughout the day without manual intervention and it removes the need for cords completely; creating a cleaner environment that is safer for children and pets.
But the real value is in how the system is planned. At Controlux, we look at how a space functions first. Where the light comes from. When privacy matters most. How temperature builds in certain rooms. Getting these details right is what makes the system feel natural once it’s installed.
Leatherhead has seen a noticeable rise in renovation and extension projects over the past few years. More homes now feature bifold doors, skylights, and wider windows than they did even a decade ago. These design choices bring in natural light but also mean shading has to work harder.
Electric blinds are particularly useful for:
There’s also been a shift in how people think about comfort. Rather than constantly adjusting blinds manually, homeowners prefer systems that adapt on their own. It sounds small, but over time it makes daily life easier in ways you don’t always notice at first.
While convenience is a major selling point, the true value of electric blinds lies in their performance impact:
Energy Efficiency- according to the Energy Saving Trust, up to 18% of heat loss in UK homes occurs through windows. Smart blinds can be programmed to lower during cooler nights and rise during sunny days, reducing reliance on heating and cooling systems.
Smart solar sensors and thermostatic integration can further optimise performance, creating a dynamic thermal barrier that responds in real time.
UV and Glare Protection: South-facing windows, common in many Leatherhead garden extensions, can lead to overheating and sun bleaching. Electric blinds can be automated to deploy during peak sunlight hours, protecting:
Enhanced Security- Motorised blinds can be programmed to open and close on a schedule, simulating occupancy while you’re away, a feature often requested by Leatherhead clients who travel regularly or own second homes.
We offer a wide range of electric blind systems that can be customised by fabric, mechanism, opacity, and control method. Whether you’re fitting out a heritage refurbishment or a high-spec new build, we provide:
